This ensured that he would be the 102nd caller and win an impressive prize: a Porsche 944 S2. However, Poulson's actions did not go unnoticed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Realizing he was being pursued, Poulson went into hiding as a fugitive. During this time, a storage shed registered under his name was cleared out by a storage company due to unpaid rent. To the FBI's surprise, they discovered computer equipment inside the shed, which was then used as evidence against Poulson. The situation took an intriguing turn when NBC's Unsolved Mysteries featured Poulson, causing the show's 1-800 telephone lines to mysteriously crash. Eventually, Poulson's run as a fugitive came to an end in April 1991, following an investigation led in part by John McClurg. Poulson was arrested and later pleaded guilty to seven counts of conspiracy, fraud, and wiretapping in June 1994. As a result, he was sentenced to five years in a federal penitentiary. Additionally, he faced a unique punishment: a three-year ban on using computers or the internet after his release. Poulson became the first American to receive such a court sentence, although Chris Lamprecht was sentenced earlier with a similar ban. It is worth noting that Poulson's parole officer eventually allowed him to use the internet in 2004, albeit with certain monitoring restrictions. 9cd4612f24bf2f3d24309e04da494317a91894c3 13 12 2023-07-28T19:36:27Z Slapp3dHäm 2 /* Arrests */ wikitext text/x-wiki '''Kevin Lee Poulsen''', born on November 30, 1965, is an esteemed American individual who has gained recognition as a former black-hat hacker.

This ensured that he would be the 102nd caller and win an impressive prize: a Porsche 944 S2. However, Poulson's actions did not go unnoticed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Realizing he was being pursued, Poulson went into hiding as a fugitive. During this time, a storage shed registered under his name was cleared out by a storage company due to unpaid rent. To the FBI's surprise, they discovered computer equipment inside the shed, which was then used as evidence against Poulson. The situation took an intriguing turn when NBC's Unsolved Mysteries featured Poulson, causing the show's 1-800 telephone lines to mysteriously crash. Eventually, Poulson's run as a fugitive came to an end in April 1991, following an investigation led in part by John McClurg. Poulson was arrested and later pleaded guilty to seven counts of conspiracy, fraud, and wiretapping in June 1994. As a result, he was sentenced to five years in a federal penitentiary. Additionally, he faced a unique punishment: a three-year ban on using computers or the internet after his release. Poulson became the first American to receive such a court sentence, although Chris Lamprecht was sentenced earlier with a similar ban. It is worth noting that Poulson's parole officer eventually allowed him to use the internet in 2004, albeit with certain monitoring restrictions. 1a2db3a1c589fb0a489fb6b0a3d66815621593e9 27 22 2023-08-05T15:58:12Z Slapp3dHäm 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Kevin Poulsen 2014.png|size:200 px]]<br> '''Kevin Lee Poulsen''', also known by his alias '''Dark Dante''' (born on November 30, 1965), is an American individual who has gained recognition as a former black-hat hacker.
